I went outside to feed my dog and I looked up to see first two objects moving around in the night sky. So started to film them moving around. They were moving in all directions. I called my husband and kids out to witness it which they did. From what looked like a metal object it would change into a round ball of light and then back again. My husband got his laser out and started to point at one who then proceeded to play with the laser and move in incredible speed. This one was followed by a smaller craft.

I’m an amateur photographer, and was noting how cool the hole in the sky looked. I started snapping pictures, when I saw 3 faint lights in the clouds, seeming to keep form for several minutes. I will include the original photo, and then the one I use filters to enhance to bring out the light. It was then, with the additional contrast, that I noticed the triangular form, as well. Freaky.

Bluish-white sphère about 2’ in diameter travelling 200 degree bearing. Moving at high rate of speed, approx 700-1000 ft. Winds were out of the north at ~10 knots. Only able to see it for a few seconds, lost it in the sun.. First thought was a helium balloon but moving way to fast for it to be a balloon.

Was in hot tub so didn't have phone/camera. Originally thought bird or garbage bag but as it came closer could tell it was going in a straight line path. Was black/round/orb not shiny, flat black. Was cloudy out but was flying under all clouds so visible entire time. Do not know size as was unsure how high up it was. When flew overhead there was no sound, trail of any kind, or wind.

Girlfriend and I were sitting on the deck, i was watching hawks in the sky to just above but to the south. In the background i saw an object appear from above the trees to the west, flying between 300-400 feet, about 300 yards to the south. I pointed it out to my girlfriend, who confirmed what i saw. It was mostly grey, with some black on top. It was about the size and sort of the shape of a subaru outback, without the whole front, hood and everything, maybe a bit wider. It was completely silent, had no wings, no props. It held an extremely steady flight, no wavering, very consistent.. it flew to the east, maintaining speed and altitude, eventually we couldn't see it anymore.

We were staying at White Sands estate near Bicheno Tasmania. We decided to go for a walk at about 430 in the morning to see if we could spot an aurora. We positioned ourselves just slightly south of the white sands Estate on the rocks next to the water. standing there stargazing we thought we saw what we perceived as a drone dropping from higher up and then hovering about 20 m to 30 m maybe off the surface of the water. It’s stayed rather stationary for that time. I took a few photos with my phone only, and then noticed the other what seemed like weird shaped objects in the photos too. Time and date stamps are on the photos. I can also send through others that haven’t been adjusted for light etc. Zoom in on the photos will show you the different details etc. While watching there seemed to be an object flash,looked a bit like a piece of rope, almost but glowing that seem to eject out the top left hand portion at about 11 o’clock and then later, looking in the photos, it appeared and stayed at that position for the hour

Downers Grove, IL
3:40 am, looking west northwest notice intermittent bright white on object at aporoximately 10,000 ft altitude ( we constantly get a lot of Ohare airport traffic overhead here in the Chicagoland area and become a pretty good judge of plane altitudes having seen them in all phases of approach and take off all my life and have flown extensively myself to Europe and Asia and Pacific) moving from west to east in a path that would've taken it right over the south portion of Ohare airport field. Silent with intermittent on/off bright white light that would move from side to side of object during off period. No port or starboard red or green lights, no under belly red light either. I could not discern a shape only intetmittent foreward facing very bright intermittent White light shifting from side side as it moved across the sky in about one minute or less time. If it was military it had no red or green lights but was being obvious about its presence - strange that it was not constant white light but instead on/off ftom side to side.

Jones, OK
Saw many bright white orbs in the sky to our northeast appear for 20-30 seconds then disappear in the same general location, but happened for about 20-30 minutes with orbs appearing and disappearing throughout the duration. They were not in a line, sometimes staggered in pairs, and sometimes clustered in a group of 4-5. Most were moving from west to east. A few moved from south to north. Two orbs moved from east to west, stopped, then moved from west to east before disappearing. Some orbs did change directions in a curved looking movement upwards behind other orbs. They would appear, glow brightly, then disappear. There was no noise. We saw a similar thing to what appears on the show The Secrets of Skinwalker Ranch Season 3 Episode 10 at the 31:00 minute mark of the episode, but saw it on a much grander scale. Also saw a shooting start very near where the orbs were disappearing. My wife and I both saw the orbs, although I saw more than her. I woke her up to show her what was going on. The orbs came in from a few different locations but all disappeared in the same general location near the 15 Andromedae star from our view point. I would guess we saw 15 to 20 orbs appear and disappear. Most were bright white, but it did appear some had flashing red and green lights similar to an airplane, but those too disappeared like all the other orbs. We did eventually see an airplane track through the location, but were able to continuously see the airplane move through the sky and not disappear like the white orbs did.

Concord, NH
I work 3rd shift for the State Military Reservation in Concord NH I noticed a strange light phenomenon in the sky over the SMR heading toward West End of Concord. A ovular craft that had red and white lights flashing across its midsection in what appeared to be a sequence kept lowering itself closer to the ground. It started at plane level aprox. 30 thousand feet, it dropped to where it could be easily seen by my friend with really bad eyesight. The craft appeared to be suffering from some kind of malfunction because twice it went fully perpendicular and several molten pieces fell off from the craft, I'm not sure if they burned up in the atmosphere but it wasn't looking good.

Driving south bound on i435, between Platte county and wolcott, I saw about 9-10 hovering objects with about a mile between each one. They were very low, hovering just about the height of the trees in the area. Each had very bright unblinking white lights and fainter red and green blinking lights. No movement and no noise.

I was fascinated with the formation of the approaching storm cell and thought it would make for a cool picture. I notice the light while taking the second picture and as I attempt to take another It ascended up into the clouds. I'm curious to know if it's speed might can be calculated. Both pictures were taken within one minute. I paused to change filters which might have taken 20 seconds or so. The object in question is to the lower left of the very bright street light in the first picture, and above the street light in the second picture. Side note: not Venus or Jupiter

On Saturday evening around 8 pm on April 29, 2023, my son and I were working in his yard on landscape lights when I happened to look up at a distant mass of what looked like a galaxy glowing slowly moving towards us from about 30 degrees above the horizon. My first reaction was to point and say to him "What the F*&^ is that?" He then replied "Holy shit. What is that?" I then said grab you phone and start taking pictures. I then ran inside the home to grab mine. It was difficult getting focus. I considered calling 911. At one point I asked him to get a cell phone tripod out of my car (actually asking him to get the tripod out of the trunk of my "camera" which was of course a mistake with the excitement) and when he returned I was trying to get my phone set up on it but could not. So I laid down on my back trying to keep the camera steady while filming. We had plenty of time. As they were directly overhead, most seemed to be in a steady movement but others were moving around. Some rapidly. And from that distance it had to be incredible fast. We stopped taking any video or photos and just observed. Until they faded at about 30 degrees from the horizon like traveling in a straight line. Not following the curvature of the earth like Starlink for example. I contacted the local news and sent them photos but never heard back and could not find anything online of other people reporting anything. This was nothing like Starlink. I witnessed Starlink with my son and his wife on the evening of May 4th. And have video and photos. This was completely different. These objects were moving around independently and spreading out in various ways. Maybe as far as 20 miles at one point. I am a 61 year old US Marine Corp Vet and my son is 30. We have zero interest in personal attention. But I know what I witnessed was unlike anything I have ever seen.

Charlotte, NC
My daughter and I were present for a baseball game. Weather was VFR and clear. No clouds. Aircraft departing Charlotte airport which was running a southern flow were passing overhead in a NE direction shortly after departure, presumable on a standard departure procedure. My daughter spotted a small dark spherical object. I was not able to initially locate the object and so joked that she was seeing things. After a few moments of scanning the area, I too located the object. The object appeared above aircraft paths in the area moving slowly in a NNE direction. Was observed for approx 5 minutes. The we were unable to locate further.

IdentifiedPRESCOTT VALLEY, AZ
I have been watching these lights every night for over a week now from my backyard in Prescott Valley, AZ. The lights are in the northern sky and start out slightly west of north and drift as a group east of north over the course of one to two hours. Anywhere from midnight to 2 AM. I can't hear them, probably because they are too far away. I can't tell how far away they are but I'm thinking they are very very far away. They move slowly, gradually in arcs as if they are circling like debris in a slow motion tornado. They are at different elevations and sometimes seem to follow each other one after another in that arc pattern. It's like each one has a powerful light that points in one direction and I can only see it as they are turning when the light points in my direction. This is a guess based on observations. They can disappear for minutes at a time, then start their swirling arc pattern of flight again. Mostly I see one or two at a time, but have seen 3 lights quite often and 4 or 5 lights once, all doing the same arcing pattern. They stay together like a flock of birds. They remind me of pelicans flocking and swirling. Sometimes the lights are very bright and other times they are dim. The seem to flicker a bit as the lights are becoming visible at the start of the arc, then become very bright, then die out flickering at the end of the arc. One after another they do this as a group and sometimes the group as a whole changes elevation, or drifts to the right or to the left, but the overall drift is west to east. They are anywhere from 10 degrees above the horizon to perhaps 30 degrees. I never see them illuminated when they move up or down. I only see the lights move horizontally. Nearly always left to right. Sometime they seem to disappear and then as a group appear in a slightly different area of the sky. They re-appear one by one again in the arc pattern. I have checked two different flight tracker/radar websites multiple times and these lights (aircraft?) don't show up at all on them. I have numerous videos of them on my trail camera that I have set up in my backyard to record the wildlife. I first saw the lights in one of the trail cam videos at around 1:20 AM 4/22/23. I have been seeing them every night since then. Today is 5/1. Last night I stood out in my backyard and watched them for an hour, 12:30 AM to 1:30 AM. I also noticed that there are occasional flashes of light, like a pin-prick star-like flash of light in the vicinity of the group of lights. At first I thought I was seeing fighter jets practicing/training, but I no longer believe that to be the case. This is just too strange. I am a scientist. I have a degree in biology. I am a logical and analytical thinker. I do not know what these lights are, and it is a little scary. ___________________________ I would like to add an update to my post that is listed at 4/29/23 in PRESCOTT VALLEY, AZ. I have 100% debunked the lights as being flaring Starlink satellites. They are not UFOs. They are satellites flaring in a specific area of the sky at the same time each night for a couple of hours until the rotation of the Earth takes me out of the viewing window because the sunlight is no longer hitting the satellites in the area where I can see them. I first noticed them in the spring and it is now summer and I am still seeing them every night but the viewing area has shifted higher in the sky and the satellites are dimmer and harder to see. I expect next spring I will be able to see them brightly again. I always see them in the north between the Big Dipper and Cassiopeia constellations. This video explains it better than I can: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ea8BCl2yVU0 From what I have read the satellites that I am seeing from my backyard in central AZ are over northern Canada, 2000 miles away. Amazing. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Certain]

My friend Ian and I were taking my daughter Karlie for a ride so she can nap. I was driving and I saw something in the sky with many lights on it. It was too big to be a plane and it wasn't making any sound. It was completely quiet! I decided to park the car and use my iPhone 12 to try to get a picture of it. We were almost at someone's house on the corner when I took the picture you are seeing now. In that past I've seen things but never really got any solid evidence. I took 3 pics in total but I got only one good one. The first one is the one I'm sending you now. The second one idk what it took a pic of and the third photo it was hidden behind the trees. The strange thing is after taking the photo, it was different than what we saw with our naked eyes. As we got closer to the craft or it got closer to us, I decided it was time to leave. There was a light coming off it like a searchlight or a beam to take us captive. I think there was a lapse in time of 30 mins that went by that we can't explain. This craft was HUGE maybe big enough to be an aircraft carrier! It had red and white lights. It definitely changed shape or appeared different in the photo than the craft we saw with our eyes. Ian and I both agree that we couldn't see what it really looked like with our naked eyes, but the phone captured it the way it is, saucer or disk-shaped!

In the southern sky, the objected was ten degrees of arc from the horizon, appeared four times the size of Venus and was twice as luminous. At 175 degrees, It was nowhere near the appropriate declination of venus, in a different segment of the sky. Moon was out and 1/4 Waxing to the West (260 degrees). The color was blue-white with no changes, and no difference in intensity. I know the area well, it was not obscured at any time.

Woodland, WA
I arrived just before 5:00 am to fish in the morning at the Merwin fish hatchery boat ramp in Woodland, WA. Looking towards the west above the tree line I saw a bright light and after a few seconds I noticed it moving at a steady pace heading towards me in the west. I started recording the object on my phone about 10 seconds from the time I noticed it. It continued to fly west above my head until it disappeared behind the horizon directly on the other side of the dam at Merwin reservoir. While watching the object the bright light stayed illuminated at the same brightness ever after passing overhead as if the entire outside of the object was illuminated. The object appeared to be close enough and bright enough that I would be able to see the red and green navigation lights found on planes. It also seemed close enough that I would be able to hear the sound of an engine. The area was completely silent and I was the only one there for the first 75% of the encounter. My friend John arrived as it was in the west where I ended the video and showed him the object. Both of us were unable to explain the encounter.

The object flew past at a slow pace, and it was low to the ground. I could make out ridges on the object, but it obtained multiple circular lights around it. It was flashing but there was no location as to where the light was coming from. None of the circular lights were flashing. The craft was a dark black triangular shape. There was no sound coming from the object. This was not my first encounter.

I was taking 10s exposure photos of the Milky Way whilst visiting New Zealand and weeks after I noticed some strange light traces in the photo. I thought possibly the camera had moved causing the streaks of light but none of the stars are streaky which led me to believe these traces I see are anomalies.
